If you’re like me, you’ll love getting heat relief this time of year. When I’m called upon to clear the clutter for an un-Air-conditioned garage, guess what? I either do it very early in the morning, or as late in the day as possible. It’s simply just TOO HOT to be without A/C, much less decluttering for hours with no relief (YET, we go where we are needed!!)

Let’s CLEAR the CLUTTER… to CLEAR the MIND™ We live in a home or apartment surrounded by our “stuff.” For some, no big deal.

All my good photos were of women, trans, and nonbinary folks this year. It's getting hard for us to stay in Texas.
